CHIMNEY CLEANING
1.  Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers 
before disposal.  Allow the stove to cool completely.
2.  Disconnect flue pipe or remove baffle from stove before 
cleaning chimeny.  Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the 
baffle and the stove will not work properly;
3.  Close the door tightly and proceed with sweeping the chim-
ney. 
4.  Sweep the collected ashes into the ash removal box, and 
empty.  Clean out the remaining ashes from firebox.
FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL:
When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic 
vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.  
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue 
of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire.  As a result, creosote 
residue accumulates on the flue lining.  When ignited, this creosote 
creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the chimney or 
even destroy the house.  The chimney connector and chimney 
should be inspected at least once every 2 months during the 
heating season to determine if a creosote or soot build-up has 
occurred.  If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to 
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
INSPECTION:
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least 
once every 2 months during the heating season to determine if 
a soot or creosote buildup have occurred.  Inspect the system at 
the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend 
to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the 
chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
REMOVAL:
I
f soot or creosote have accumulated, it should be removed to 
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  Use a brush specifically designed 
for the type of chimney in use.  A chimney sweep can perform 
this service.  It is also recommended that before each heating 
season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned, 
and repaired if necessary.
Prior to brushing the chimney clean, follow these steps to ensure 
that the accumulation of ash and creosote falls directly into the 
firebox for removal.

This product is equipped with an ash removal system.  We 
recommend emptying the ash pan at least once a week when the 
stove is in constant operation.  The amount of ash is dependent 
on the type of wood being burned.  DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO 
BUILD UP IN THE ASHPAN UNTIL THEY REACH THE GRATE.  
THIS WILL LEAD TO PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE 
GRATE AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN.

OF
 
ASHES
:
1. 
Allow the stove to cool completely.
2. 
CAUTION! Ash coals can remain extremely hot for 
several days.  Protect your hands with gloves when 
removing the ash pan
.
3. 
DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH ASH PAN DOOR 
OPEN OR WITH ASH PAN REMOVED.
 The hinged door will 
open from the right hand side.  Pull ash pan out carefully.
4. 
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight 
fitting lid.  The closed container of ashes should be placed 
on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from 
all combustible materials, pending final disposal.  If the 
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally 
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container 
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
5. 
Replace ash pan, swing door shut and close ash door handle. 
ASH REMOVAL 
GLASS CARE 
NOTE:  Remove all labels from glass prior to lighting 
the first fire.
This stove is equipped with ceramic, heat-resistant glass, which 
can only be broken by impact or misuse.  Do not slam the stove 
door or impact the glass.  When closing the door, make sure that 
logs do not protrude against the glass.  
Inspect the glass regularly for cracks or breaks.  If you detect a 
crack or break, extinguish the fire immediately and contact your 
dealer for replacement.
A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected 
down over the inside of the door glass.  This air flow “washes” the 
glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.  When 
operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass 
and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause 
the glass to become coated.  Operating the stove with the Primary 
Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove 
the built up coating.  If the deposits on the glass are not very 
heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may 
be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by 
using a commercially available oven cleaner.  After using an 
oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass 
cleaner or soap and water.  Oven cleaner left on during the next 
firing can permanently stain the glass and damage the finish on 
plated metal surfaces.
